Owen Warner is now the clear bookmakers favourite to be king of the jungle – but the results of a new poll have Jill Scott in front of her rivals to win I'm A Celebrity.

The verdict from viewers being quizzed over the weekend revealed Jill had 14.5% of the vote when asked who people wanted to win. And perhaps crucially she was the second favourite campmate of another 11% of fans, meaning she could pick up more votes when other stars are voted out.

Mike Tindall and Owen were both close behind and the rugby star received 13.6% with Owen on 7.2% when it came to who people wanted to win.

However since the polling closed, Hollyoaks star Owen has completed a trial winning nine out of nine stars which will have done no harm to his chances of victory.

I'm A Celebrity's return to Australia has also been dubbed a huge success by the viewers.

In the new research by One Poll 30% say this series was better than most years and a further 14% think it is the best series ever in two decades. Another 31% said it was the same as other years meaning only 25% are not enjoying it as much as normal, and for some voters this is thought to be due to the fact Matt Hancock is in camp.

Of more than 1500 people quizzed, a majority of 54% prefer the Australian jungle for the venue with only 30% wanting it in Wales full time, and the remainder happy with either version on ITV.

Even before we see the brilliant Cyclone, only 11% say they are not enjoying the current range of Bushtucker trials.

Asked who they were most disappointed in watching in the jungle, 22% said Boy George, possibly because of his moans and groans to Seann Walsh, with 20% saying they anticipated more from radio DJ Chris Moyles.

A massive 27% said Matt is the person they would least like to win.

One Poll Research Director Harry Gove said: “Our research highlights how the sports personalities are reigning supreme among viewers.

“And while Matt Hancock has gone some way to improve perceptions, he's certainly not won over the hearts of the viewers.
